It was on May 4, 1961, when the Stone family sold their ranch at the north end of Eagle Lake to the Five Dot Land & Cattle Company. In 1926, Coit and Laura Stone had purchased the ranch from William and Roseanna Troxel. Apparently, none of the Troxel’s three sons wanted the Eagle Lake property.

It should be noted the Stone family retained their shoreline property on the northwest side of Eagle Lake. In October 1961 Stone’s Subdivision Unit 1 was placed on the market. The entire Stone’s Subdivision comprises 270 acres divided into 244 lots.
